Bioarchaeological study is on the rise in West Africa, with a focus on human migration, diet, and environmental reconstructions. Oftentimes these analyses focus on the broader patterns, obscuring the individual lives in the process. This study focuses on the lived experiences of five individuals excavated from what is now modern-day Nigeria. I will present results from light stable isotopes (C, N, O), heavy isotope (Sr), and osteological analysis, from individuals from three different sites, BSM6, EDI, and ODG1. By using multiple lines of evidence, I am able to provide a more nuanced understanding of daily life in the Yoruba region of Southwest Nigeria.
